"The Tribute Money" (b., Holl. 68; H. 124) is an etching created by the renowned Dutch artist Rembrandt van Rijn. This work is part of Rembrandt's extensive oeuvre of prints, which showcases his mastery in the medium of etching and his ability to convey complex narratives and emotions through intricate lines and shading. The etching depicts the biblical story from the Gospel of Matthew (Matthew 22:15-22), where Jesus is confronted by the Pharisees and Herodians who attempt to trap him with the question of whether it is lawful to pay taxes to Caesar. Jesus' famous response, "Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's," is a pivotal moment in the narrative, highlighting themes of faith, duty, and the separation of earthly and divine authority.

Rembrandt's interpretation of this scene is notable for its dramatic use of light and shadow, a technique known as chiaroscuro, which he employed to great effect in both his paintings and prints. The composition is carefully structured to draw the viewer's eye to the central figure of Jesus, whose calm and composed demeanor contrasts with the varied expressions of the surrounding figures. This contrast not only emphasizes the tension of the moment but also underscores the moral and spiritual authority of Jesus.

The etching is also significant for its detailed rendering of the figures' costumes and the architectural setting, which reflect Rembrandt's keen observation and his ability to imbue his works with a sense of realism and immediacy. "The Tribute Money" is a testament to Rembrandt's skill as an etcher and his deep engagement with biblical themes, making it a valuable piece within his body of work and an important example of 17th-century printmaking.
